Mechanical Installation
This section outlines specifications, procedures, and the environment for proper mechanical installation of the drive.
Installation Environment
To help prolong the optimum performance life of the drive, install the drive in an environmental matching the
specifications in

<1> Models CIMR-A4A0930 and 4A1200 are rated at 5.9 m/s
NOTICE: Avoid placing drive peripheral devices, transformers, or other electronics near the drive as the noise created can lead to
erroneous operation. If such devices must be used in close proximity to the drive, take proper steps to shield the drive from noise.
NOTICE: Prevent foreign matter such as metal shavings and wire clippings from falling into the drive during installation. Failure to
comply could result in damage to the drive. Place a temporary cover over the top of the drive during installation. Remove the
temporary cover before startup, as the cover will reduce ventilation and cause the drive to overheat.
Installation Orientation and Spacing
Install the drive upright as illustrated in

IP20/NEMA 1, UL Type 1 enclosure: -10°C to +40°C
IP00 enclosure: -10°C to +50°C
Finless Type: IP20/IP00 enclosure: -10 to +45C
Drive reliability improves in environments without wide temperature fluctuations.
When using the drive in an enclosure panel, install a cooling fan or air conditioner in the area to ensure that the air temperature inside the enclosure
does not exceed the specified levels.
Do not allow ice to develop on the drive.
95% RH or less and free of condensation
-20°C to +60°C
Install the drive in an area free from:
• oil mist and dust
• metal shavings, oil, water or other foreign materials
• radioactive materials
• combustible materials (e.g., wood)
• harmful gases and liquids
• excessive vibration
• chlorides
• direct sunlight
